This post is from my old blog. For those who have read it before, it has been updated with one more line.

It's so hard to find a single song that paints an accurate picture of how I think my love life will end up. So, I took the initiative to parts of multiple songs together to make a mega-love song. . I set a few rules for myself. First, I can only use no more than one snippet from any given artist. Second, it has to be a song currently in my music library. Third, I'm not going to use anything that's just too plain easy.

She's been on my mind (She's working overtime). She's got perfect reasons, says she loves to talks to Jesus. I think I believe her when she says life can be so simple if we'd all just learn to pray. Every Little Thing - Hawk Nelson

If you own a brain and use it too, you’ve got know that I have a crush on you. Move to Bremerton – MxPx

I won’t run when it looks like love. I won’t hide behind the fear of how my past has come undone. Looks Like Love - NeedtobreatheYou shared her with me yesterday, so close yet so far away. It’s the little things she does that magnify your grace And your grace resonates in my soul every time I see her face. Beautiful – Plankeye

But for now I’ll look so longingly, waiting.. for you to want me, for you to need me, for you to notice me. For You to Notice - Dashboard Cofessional

I want so much to open your eyes, ‘cause I need you to look into mine. Open Your Eyes – Snow PatroA thousand boys could never reach you, how could I have been the one? Black Balloon – Goo Goo Dolls

You say you want diamonds on a ring of gold, your story to remain untold, your love not to grown cold. ….when all I want is you. All I Want Is You – U2

And I’ll promise to love you with all that it is. And I’ll promise to be there whenever you need me, because you’ll always be my best friend. You’ll Always Be My Best Friend – Relient KStill my heart and hold my tongue. I feel my time, my time has come. Let me in. Unlock the door. I’ve never felt this way before. Til Kingdom Come – ColdplayBaby, it’s been a long time waiting, such a long, long time. And I can’t stop smiling, no I can’t stop now. Gravity – Embrace

You, you're sex is fire. Sex on Fire – Kings of Leon While putting this together there are some things I've noticed. It's hard to find songs about growing old with your wife, with the exception of that Adam Sandler song in the Wedding Singer. It's hard to find "secular" music that paints a picture of love between a man and woman in a wholesome way. It's hard to find "Christian" music which doesn't portray love between a man and woman without attempting to be uber-spiritual about it. Hopefully someday I'll have my own love song to write.
